SWORDFISH
There is only one species of swordfish and it roams both tropical and temperate waters. In the U.S., swordfish are caught off the California and Mid Atlantic coast and as far as Newfoundland in the summer and in the Gulf of Mexico and Florida coast in the winter. Commercially caught swordfish can range in weight from 10 to 400 pounds. This fish is a favorite "designer" fish for chefs because of the symmetrical splashes of red in the white flesh.
PRODUCT FORMS
Swordfish are sold in logs or center cuts for steaking, cubing and cutting into slabs or loins.
PREPARATION
Meat color can vary from white to brown. Color is often determined by diet not quality. Swordfish can be broiled, baked or grilled.
